Not promoting narratives of western/white guilt is not the same thing as being "biased".
The majority of the problems in the 3rd world are caused primarily by native interests and inside forces - that are corrupt, divisive, don't care, will brutalize their own people, etc.
Yet the majority of stories completely absolve those parties, and focus entirely on the west.
And because of this, for this reason, the problem never gets solved.
- Synaesthesia 10y agoIt's a complex story but I don't think that narrative is true at all. The reality of ongoing neocolonisation is never really told in the media, whereas the corruption of third world countries often is.
